I wonder if I could bypass it in the meantime and just turn them off when the wipers hit the bottom of the windshield...
My Newport Eng. wiper motor on my 55.1 truck took a dump. It's about 7 or 8 years old, so I'm not surprised. The slow speed kinda works but the...
Ryan, I clicked on the link to reset the password. The problem is that I forgot to update my email address, so the new password keeps getting sent...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's a couple of pics. The first is from underneath, after I pushed the shield up. The second is from up above. Pretty obvious...
Hey guys, sorry I took so long. I just got busy with some other stuff and couldn't make any time to get back on the car. Then the app was turned...
I've been using the app from my phone since the app first came out, so I've been signed in on my phone. When the app went down this last time, I...
[ATTACH][ATTACH] Here's some pics of my old wagon. I cut 2 full coils and pulled 2 of the 5 leaf springs. I also ran air shocks to soften the ride...
Thanks for the ideas guys. I'm gonna try to make some time after work to get underneath it. Might have to wait till the weekend though. I don't...
I forgot, the transmission works fine. No problems or leaks so far... Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
Ok, here's the deal... I had the original 283 in my wife's 58' rebuilt. When I put it back in, I also swapped out the original cast iron PG for a...
14x7 reversed should fit ok with skirts as long as you don't go with too wide a tire. My 13x7 reversed Daytons fit my wife's 62 with skirts. They...
I may be wrong, but pickups are almost always registered as commercial. So the greedy state can take more money from us. Posted using the Full...
I have '51 car plates with a '55 tab on my '55 truck. It's still registered as a commercial vehicle. I never got any static from the DMV when I...

I'll probably get lynched on here for saying this. First of all, nice wheels. I think I would've gone to the Wire Wheel King in Campbell though....
The tweekers have also been stealing telephone cable for the copper. They'll open a sidewalk box or manhole, tie a rope to the cable, then cut the...
Try "Nordstromautoinc" on eBay. That's where I got mine. Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
There was a wrecking yard in North Dakota or Montana that sold parts on eBay. I got my ZR2 rear end from there. The first one they sent me was for...
Try Kalifornia Fender Skirts in Dinuna, CA. @ (559) 591- 2339. Or maybe Night Prowlers. They used to have them. I think they're an Alliance...

I think the steering boxes are the same. They sell an adapter to get rid of the PS control valve on the end of the center link. Try Ecklers Late...

I have non commercial 51 plates with a 55 tab on my 55 pickup. I heard somewhere that the DMV would let it slide because newer trucks don't have...
I like the low & slow. I also like to drive fast. I currently have Diamondback radials, but I've run two different sets of bias ply on my 55 five...
I just had this issue this past weekend, although it was with a '58 283 V8. We had the engine in my wife's 58 Bel Air rebuilt. After I put it in &...
Yeah! What he said! I always wanted to put a 62 comet front clip on my 62 Falcon...[ATTACH][ATTACH] Posted from the TJJ App for iPhone & iPad
Isky is right. Before you pulled the distributor, you should have pulled the cap to see which way the rotor was pointing. Then take a sharpie and...
Hoop, I'll try the stall test. I'm pretty sure my TDC mark is accurate. What makes me think it's a tranny issue is that it felt the same before...
Old ford, I'm using shift linkage from the Truck & Car Shop in Orange,CA. It's supposed to be for a PG to TH350 swap. It feels the same starting...
Ok, here's the story... I did a trans swap from a cast iron PG to a new Jegs th350 in a 58 Chevy. It had a good running 283 with a 600 Holley carb...
